Updated yesterday. Working great, although I am a light user.
Vast majority of us
have no need for it as it hides the dock and menu
, ultimately making multitasking a pain in the ass.
Are word and excel 2016 still using more CPU than Office 2011? I've frequently seen Word use around 50% of CPU for a normal 3000 word essay! Didn't have this problem with Office 2011.
Vast majority of us have no need for it as it hides the dock and menu, ultimately making multitasking a pain in the ass. It really is a redundant feature, one that is actually detrimental to getting things done quickly. Apple should just add an option in system settings to make the green button act as a 'maximize window' without going into fullscreen. It'd satisfy everyone.
I just downloaded the updates and it clocks in around 3.34GB. This times the 3 Macs on my subscription is painful on metered (wireless) broadband out in the country... 50 miles from the US White House...They're still 800mb per applications though!
Yeah! They should go back to how it was in Lion where the green button was a maximize button and the fullscreen button was in the top-right corner.Vast majority of us have no need for it as it hides the dock and menu, ultimately making multitasking a pain in the ass.

I use it, it's great. Hardly makes multitasking a pain, just use CMD Tab or ctrl arrow key.
Newsflash dude - different people have different ways of working. crazy concept, I know, but not everybody is you.So you have to bring up a window and toggle through apps when you can have them always displayed in the dock?
"vast majority"? got a link for that assertion?
and I'm not following on the lack of dock problem -- I use 3-finger swipes to move between apps, the desktop, or mission control. what are you talking about?
Yep, each to their own of course!Personally, I find very little use for full-screen apps on Mac. The only one that I have used with any kind of regularity is iPhoto/Photos, when going through my album, as it cleans up the interface a good bit. But the split-screen multitasking is an absolute kludge of an implementation, and might as well just work with a windowed environment.

Microsoft provides also an update for Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 <-- v14.6.0
Can we recall messages in Outlook yet?
I can get most of my work done without taking my fingers off my keyboard, I find this more productive. With ctrl arrow key you don't need to bring up a window that toggles through apps. I mostly use cmd tab to switch back and forth between two apps (which doesn't bring up the switcher), which is faster than taking my hand off the keyboard and using the mouse/trackpad. All this and I get more screen real estate which I personally find is important, there's less distractions and more space for code, docs etc. Each to their own of course.So you have to bring up a window and toggle through apps when you can have them always displayed in the dock?
What?? Almost everyone in my office (an entire mac operation) auto hides the dock anyway.... In fact most Mac users that I know have the dock on the side of the screen not bottom as it takes up to much real estate.
i don't know how anyone can use the dock at the bottom of the screen.
i'd love for a way to have the dock appear on the left side of my left screen and the right side of my right screen. bottom is the only way to get two docks.
with the the possible ways to switch 'spaces' (multitasking), i'm not sure why someone wouldn't use full screen mode.

One thing that needs ”fixing” with the Office 2016 apps is their size! It seems there are about 400 MB's of fonts plus a Framework folder of similar size that reoccurs within every single Office 2016 app. No wonder they're so huge. Why these resources can't be shared between the apps (like it was in Office 2011) is beyond me.

I and many people at my college uses it.It's funny because nobody uses fullscreen.
I just accidentally found out, like yesterday, that holding the alt/option key while hovering over the green full-screen button, reverts to a maximise (+) button again, if that helps.![]()
I have 13 Macbook Pro Retina and I use it all the time for safari and most apps where I am only multitasking in between 2 or 3 apps as I can easily use gestures to get between themSome people surely do.
